Description

Ipsdienol CAS NO 35628-00-3 is a high-purity, volatile monoterpenoid alcohol that serves as a critical semiochemical in nature and industry. Its primary value lies in its role as a key component of aggregation pheromones for various bark beetle species, making it an essential tool for research and pest management strategies. This compound is vital for entomologists, agrochemical researchers, and manufacturers developing targeted insect monitoring and control solutions.

Application

• Pheromone Research & Development: A primary component in the study and synthesis of bark beetle (e.g., *Ips* spp.) aggregation pheromones for behavioral ecology and integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
• Agricultural Pest Monitoring: Formulated into lures and baits for trapping systems to monitor pest beetle populations in forestry and agricultural settings.
• Semiochemical Synthesis: Used as a chiral building block or intermediate in the organic synthesis of more complex pheromones and related terpenoid compounds.
• Chemical Ecology Studies: Employed in laboratory and field experiments to understand insect communication, host selection, and interspecies interactions.
• Flavor & Fragrance Intermediate: Serves as a starting material for the synthesis of specific terpene-based aroma chemicals, contributing to complex natural scent profiles.
• Reference Standard: Supplied as a high-purity analytical standard for GC-MS or HPLC calibration in environmental, agricultural, and research laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Ipsdienol is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity, which is critical for reliable research and formulation results. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, GC-MS, and chiral HPLC to verify identity, purity, and enantiomeric ratio where specified. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurities, and physical parameters is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) to minimize volatility and degradation. Due to its highly volatile nature, allow the container to reach ambient temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
